The Date

Rogue let out another growl as she threw a shirt on to her bed with the other rejects.

"Rogue calm down," said Kitty as she was flipping through a magazine while sitting on her friend's bed. "you know he'll love whatever you wear."

"That's not the point. Ah don't even know where where're going, how does he expect meh to pick somethin' out" she said as she threw another shirt onto her bed. "What time is it?"

Kitty turned and looked over her left shoulder at Rogue's clock. "6:00, so you still have twenty minutes."

"Go down stairs and find out what Remy's wearing."

"Why?" kitty asked slightly confused

"So Ah cin figure out what ta ware."

"Okay." Kitty said as she got up and walked out of her room.

Rogue continued looking for about ten minutes and Kitty had not come back yet.

"Hmm" Rogue said as she pulled out a dark green long sleeve shirt. The sleeves started tapering out at the elbow and ended up very wide at the wrist. The shirt had a shallow v-neck and when it got to her waist it swooped in on the left side and came to a point on the middle of her right thigh.

She put her pair of dark blue jeans and the shirt. Then she put and her black and white sneakers. Kitty had confiscated all of the strainers so Rogue's hair was curly. She then pulled on a pair of black gloves and picked up a choker.

"Oh my god, Rogue you look so beautiful." Kitty said as she walked back into the room.

"Thanks Kit." Rogue said as she was looking in her mirror and tying on a black ribbon chocker with a green metal cross on it.

"What took ya so long?" she questioned turning away from the mirror to look at her.

"Oh sorry I ran into Scott when I was looking for Remy and he wanted me to help him with a quick computer problem." She said as she sat down on the bed and picked up her magazine. "Oh and I am not telling you what he is wearing you get to be surprised, but I can tell you that you are dressed appropriately.

"Great." Rogue said as she picked up one of her shirts form the bed and hung it back up in the closet.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah'm bakin' a cake, what's it look like Ah'm doin'?"

"Here give me that," Kitty said as she took the shirt out of Rogue's hand. "I'll put the cloths away; you're already late as it is."

Rogue looked over at the clock "it's only six-twenty-five, it's not like Ah'm and hour late."

"Doesn't matter, go I'll take care of this." Kitty said as she pushed Rogue out her door.

"Fhne." Rouge said as she walked away.

"I want to hear every detail of it when you get back!" Kitty yelled to Rogue's back.

"Yeah, yeah." Rogue said as she walked down the hallway and around the corner.

She was almost to the stairs when the sound of shuffling caught her ear. 'Is he really that nervous' Rogue thought to herself. Sure he would probably deny it, but anyone who knew him well enough knew that he shuffled his cards when he got nervous and Remy LeBeau did get nervous often.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Remy

'Where de hell is dat fille.' Remy thought to himself as he continued shuffling his pack of cards.

He cheeked his watch, saw that it was 6:25 and cursed in French under his breath. It wasn't that he was nervous, he kept telling himself, no it was just that he had made reservations at 7:00 and if they did not leave soon they would lose it. Okay so maybe he was little nervous too but he wasn't about to admit it.

"Swamp Rat ya look like yer dame near ready ta piss yerself"

Remy turned to the sound of her voice and could not believe the beauty he saw before him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rogue

Rogue could not believe that she had made it half way down the stairs without him noticing. Well she decided she should at lest get to have fun with it.

"Swamp Rat ya look like yer dame near ready ta piss yerself." Rogue said with a smirk.

She was happy with the result it got. He looked surprised and then happy to see her when he turned around.

"Yer late." He said stopping his card shuffling and putting them in his back pocket.

Rogue reached the last stair and rolled her eyes as she stepped off. "Ah'm not that late." she said walking forward and grabbing his wrist to read his watch. "Ah'm only six minutes late."

"Ya know I dink dat I should get a kiss for every minute yer late" he said leaning in slightly.

"Don't push yer luck, sugar" Rogue said as she let go of his wrist and started walking towards the front door. "were'er already late as it is, don't need ya fallin' unconscious."

"Hey chere wait up." He said as he jogged to catch up with her. When he did he threw his arm around her waist and pulled her up against him. "Yer chariot awaits m'lady" he said while opening the door. Rogue saw his black motorcycle with a helmet hanging from each handle bar sitting in front of the stairs leading up the house.

Rogue rolled her eyes before saying, "What ya pick that up from '101 Cheesy Lines'."

"Fer yer information every line I say comes from de heart."

"We gonna stand here all day while ya flirt with meh, or are we goin' ta eat?" she said as she slipped out of his grasp and walked down the stairs towards the bike.

Rogue had pulled her helmet off of the bike and started putting on when she saw Remy reach over, grab his and sit on the bike. Rogue had finished strapping hers on while Remy strapped his on. Rogue threw her leg over on side of the bike and sat behind Remy.

"Better hold on tight chere" Remy said as the bike roared to life.

Rogue griped his waist when she felt the bike bolt right after he said that.

"That wasn't funny" She said as she hit him his right shoulder. Luckily she did not have to yell to be heard over the bike; all the helmets had mikes built into them. She tightened her grip with her left arm and quickly wrapped her right arm back around him when she felt the bike slightly swerve to the left. They had already driven around the fountain and were headed down the driveway.

"Ya probably shouldn't hit me while I'm drivin' chere."

"Ya made it swerve more than necessary, Ah didn't even hit ya that hard."

She felt him gun it again as the gates were opening up and had to tighten her grip when he made the turn around the corner.

"Stop doin' that."

"Ya know ya like squeezin' me." He said with a slight chuckle as he slowed down a little

Rogue was so glad he could not see her face, because if he could he would have saw that she was blushing at that statement. She did like squeezing him it gave her the chance to feel his body better. His muscles were tense all throughout his body and she could feel his rock hard abs though his thin black shirt.

"Not all of us girls are obsessed with ya."

Remy let out a laugh, before responding "yer just in denial."

"No Ah ani't."

"Whatever helps ya sleep at night chere."

"Where are we goin'?" She said trying to change the subject.

"Can't ruin de surprise now chere."

'We can't be goin' anywhere too fancy,' Rogue thought to herself. 'Ah mean he's in jeans, sneakers, a black t-shirt with a dark blue button down (open of course) long-sleeved shirt over it and black gloves.'

"yer sure we can git in right?"

"Of course I'm sure we can git in, I made reservations"

"No not 'cause of that, but 'cause we're mutants."

"I know someone dat works dere."

They continued driving for five minutes until they ended up in the heart of Bayville. Surprisingly there was actually stuff to do in this town; you just had to know where to look. Remy drove down the street looking for a place to park and found a spot next to a tree along the side walk. Remy parked the bike and killed the engine as Rogue took off her helmet and got off. She shook her head to get rid of her helmet hair while Remy got off the bike and took off his helmet. Remy then reached over and grabbed Rogue's helmet from her and put them both in the storage unit of the bike.

Remy stepped up onto the curb as Rogue was checking to make sure that she was covered. When she was satisfied she looked up at Remy to see him offer his arm to her. She smiled and took his arm as they started walking down the sidewalk, which was easy to do with people practically jumping out of their way. People had ovousbsly seen his eyes or had recognized her hair, and if those weren't big enough tips that they were mutants, the way they were dressed in the middle of summer would have made anyone suspicious.

"Where are we goin'?" Rogue said trying to pretend that she wasn't hearing the people around her make sneered remarks.

"Boy ya don't like surprises do ya?"

"No, Ah don't"

"Well we're here, so ya can relax."

Rogue looked at the large white building that Remy had stopped in front of. It had four windows and deep red curtains hanging in all of them. It had a wooden door with a small window and a sign saying open. Rogue looked up higher and saw that written in big gold letters was: stake house.

"Shall we?" Remy said while opening the door for her

Rogue walked through the door and then stopped when she was only a few feet in. Every eye in the room turned to look at her and immediately got uncomfortable. Several people gasped when Remy walked up behind her. Remy walked around her and grabbed her hand as he walked toward the hostess.

"Can I help you?" Asked the hostess through clenched teeth.

"Qui, we 'ave reservations at seven." Remy said as he tried to pretend that everything was fine.

"Excuse me, did you just say you had reservations at seven?"

Remy and Rogue both looked behind the man that Remy was talking to. He was a man probably in his late thirties, his black hair was slicked back, his pencil mustache neatly trimmed and the look on his face practically screamed: your not welcome here.

"Oui."

The man leaned forward to look at the list and picked up a pen from the podium. He used the pen to cross several names off the list before looking at Remy and replying "Oh I'm so sorry, but we had to give your table away when you failed to show." Remy and Rogue could both tell that he was lying.

"What do ya mean," Remy said trying to keep his anger in check as he checked his watch, "its five minutes ta seven."

"Your watch must be slow sir. Now I'm going to have to ask that you and girlfriend leave." He said with a smile.

"What--" his voice rising slightly in anger

"Remy stop it yer gonna make a scene. Its fhne we'll just leve." Rogue said as she walked away pulling him behind her. The last thing she wanted was to end up on the news.

"Rogue what are ya doin' we 'ave every right ta eat in dere." He said once they were on the street. His eyes where glowing in anger.

"Ah know we do" she said as she started walking down the sidewalk with Remy walking along side her "but what do ya think is gonna happen, that their just gonna let us eat there. No. All that's gonna happen is, yer gonna get mad, they're gonna get scared and call the cops then, we end up on the news."

"So den what do we do?" he asked as he grabbed her right hand and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Ah don't know yet lets just keep walking"

They walked down the strip for a good twenty minutes until Rogue saw something.

"How 'bout we walk through the park" she said as she pointed towards The Bayville Park.

"And dinner?"

"There's a hotdog vender over there." she moved her arm to point it out next to the park.

"Hotdogs?" he said looking disgusted

"Ya got any better ideas?" she said look up at him

"Excuse me."

Rogue and Remy turned to the sound of the voice to see a woman with a two year old boy on her hip crossing the street. She stepped up on the sidewalk and walked over to them.

"You're both part of the X-Men, right?" she asked as she readjusted her child on her hip.

"Yeah is somthin' wrong?" Rogue asked concerned thinking the woman might be in trouble.

"Oh no, I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you, my name's Cynthia Cermila. A couple of weeks ago you guys helped put out a fire on 2nd street and Ristic. I wanted to thank you because my husband was in the building and one of your teammates saved his life. If there's anything I can do to repay you guys, please let me know."

She then turned to Remy "give meh yer wallet" Remy reach into his front pocket and pulled out his beaten brown leather wallet and handed it to Rogue. Rogue pulled out a couple of fives and handed Remy his wallet back.

"Actually we're on a date and we haven't eaten yet 'cause we got kicked out of the restraint 'fer bein' mutants. Would ya mind buyin' us a couple of hotdogs and some sodas, it's just that he might turn us away 'cause we're mutants and Ah'm hungry." Rogue asked as she held the money out to her.

"No problem, what would you guys like?" she asked as she took the money from Rogue.

They gave her their orders and said they would wait for where they were.

"I can't believe we're havin' hotdogs" Remy said as he leaned up against one of the building.

"Quit yer whinin' it's not that big of a deal." She said as she joined him in leaning up against the building on his right side.

Remy reached over with his right arm, wrapped it around her shoulders and pulled her up against his side.

"m'sorry dis date hasn't been goin' so good chere." He said before kissing the top of her head.

"It's alright, Ah kinda expected it ta be honest" she said looking up at him.

"Quoi?" he asked wide-eyed

"Well yeah, I mean it's you and meh, most of the time things don't go the way we want them ta, why should this be any different."

"Dats true" he said nodding in agreement.

"You two make a very cute couple." said the happy voice of Cynthia.

Rogue and Remy both looked up to see the smiling face of Cynthia holding one soda and her son who was also holding a soda.

"Mercy." said Remy as he pushed off the wall, bringing Rogue with him.

"Uh yeah thanks" Rogue said with a slight blush

"Aww ya blushin' chere?"

"No, it's the heat." Rogue pushed off of Remy and crossed her arms in defiant.

"Right." He said smiling

Well here's your soda." She said while handing Rogue her soda.

"Thank you."

"And yours" she said as she took the soda from her son and handed it to Remy.

"Mercy."

Cynthia set her son down and opened up her purse. She pulled a bag with two hotdogs in it and handed it to Remy.

"I couldn't carry it all." She explained as she picked up her son.

"Its fine, thanks again."

"You're welcome, I was more than happy to help. Well it was nice meeting you, but I have to go and get this little one to bed."

"Oh and your change is in the bag."

"Okay, thanks."

"She was nice." Rogue said as they started walking towards the park and then she took a drink of her soda.

"Yeah she was nice." Remy said.

They stopped at the entrance of the park and un-wrapped their hotdogs so they could eat while they walked through the park.

"Hey Rogue," Remy said as he pulled two five dollar bills out of the bag, "I thought you gave her ten dollars"

"Ah did" Rogue said as she looked at the money "she must of paid for them." he put it in his pocket.

"I wanted to thank you more then just going and getting the hotdogs for you, so I a paid for them, hope you don't mind, your new friend Cynthia" Rogue looked over at Remy to see him reading from the back of the receipt.

"Well that was nice of her." Said Rogue as Remy handed her, her hotdog and a napkin.

"Yeah." Remy said as he threw away the empty bag.

They both then walked into the park.

They both ignored the looks and the words that people where saying, or how some parents even went as far as picking up their children and leaving. Instead they tried to focus on the beauty of the park. The grass was neatly mowed, green and lush. The walkway was lit with lampposts and there was a giant fountain in the middle of it all. Rogue and Remy had walked pasted the fountain and further into the park to find somewhere that was by the least amount of people. They walked for a half-hour intent on getting as far from the entrance as possible. After passing a lake and a couple of jungle-gyms they found a wooden bench with metal armrests that they felt was far enough away from most people and sat down.

"That was better then eating in a restraint" Rogue stated

"How so?" he asked then took a drink.

Rogue turned in her seat so that her back was up against the arm rest and her feet were in front of her on the bench bent at the knees.

"'cause if we were in a restraint than people would be strainin' at us the whole time and everything would just be uncomfortable. This way, it's just you, meh and the people that we see for a moment as we walk by."

"Oh my god!" came the voice of what Rogue cloud only describe as nails on a chalk board.

"Oh crap" Rogue said through clenched teeth.

"What's wrong?" Remy asked

"It's a girl from school."

"Look guys the vampire's out on the prowl"

"Heheheheh" came the laughter of her little hyenas.

Tiffany Rezonea the most annoying, bitchiest girl Rogue had ever had the misfortune of sharing air with. She was tall, addicted to tanning beds, had bleach blond hair, blue eyes (that everyone knew was from contacts) and had a reputation for sleeping with every guy she dated. Tiffany thought she was the greatest thing in the world and if you did not just bow to her feet, or kiss her ass at every chance you got, you made it on to her list and then she made it her job to make your life hell. Lucky for Rogue she was at the top of her list since she told her off on several occasions.

"If y'all don't go away Ah'll show ya just how much of a vampire Ah can be."

"God, could you be anymore of a hillbilly."

"Better then bein' a slut"

Tiffany chose to ignore the comment and instead turn her attention to Remy.

"You know--oh my god" Tiffany screeched and took a couple steps back when Remy looked at her. Tiffany had been too focused on Rogue to even notice Remy until now. She managed to calm down before responding "Oh how cute, the Vampire and the devil, very well matched."

Rogue had had enough. She stood and walked over to tiffany and then, poured half of her soda all over her head.

"Ahh, you bitch." She said while shaking her hands.

"Ah only regret that there wasn't more in the cup" Rogue told her and then turned and started walking away.

Remy got up off of the bench and started fallowing after Rogue. He walked about ten feet before turning and facing the girls. He cleared his throat to get their attention. He wanted to tell them that if they messed with her or any other mutants, that they would have him to deal with, but he didn't want it to seem that they could not take care of themselves. Plus they might start thinking that she only dumped soda on Tiffany's head because he was right there. So instead he settled for what he did say.

Remy gave a low bow before saying "Salopes." (bitches)

He was satisfied to see a look of confusion on all three faces when he straitened up. They may not have known what he said, but that was half the fun.

Remy turned back around and followed the path to find Rogue. He found her sitting on a bench not to far from where they had been.

"What took ya so long?"

"Oh just givin' dem a piece of my mind." He said as he grabbed her hand and the started walking down the path.

They continued walking through the park just talking to each other. They were so engrossed with just talking and being with each other that nether one were paying attention to the time. Until rogue asked what time it was.

"Merde, we gotta go." Remy said yanking on her hand as he pulled her to the entrance of the park; luckily they were right by it.

"Why what time is it?" Rogue asked as they ran through the entrance

"Nine-fortyfive."

"So."

"Logan said I had ta 'ave you home by ten. He said if I didn't I was havin' a personal trainin' session with him and Laura tomorrow. Now I don't know if he was bluffin' or not but I don't want to find out." He said practically dragging her behind him.

"Stop pullin' Ah can run on my own." He let go and now they were both running down the strip.

They made it to Remy's bike and Remy pulled out both helmets and gave Rogue hers. Remy quickly strapped his on, got on the bike and started it. Rogue was on the bike after her helmet was on and Remy peeled out of the parking spot. They drove in silence both prying that Logan would not catch them and all the while knowing that they were screwed.

They came up on the street that leads to Xavier's and drove through the gates when they opened. Remy pushed a button on his bike to open the garage and pulled in and parked. They both pulled off their helmets and got off the bike.

Well ladies first." Remy said gesturing to the door.

"Chicken." Rogue said as she opened the door a crack and looked around. She saw no one on the hallway and quietly walked into the house. Remy fallowed behind her and closed the door slightingly. They then walked through a door that leads to the kitchen. They then walked through the kitchen to get to another door that leads to the foyer. Rogue pushed the door open and came face to face with Wolverine.

"Hey." Rogue said try to sound nonchalant.

"Don't 'hey' me Strips"

"Oh lightin' up Logan so we're," she turned to look over her shoulder at the digital clock on the stove, "twenty minutes late, its not like it's the end of the world."

"Get upstairs. You both have a danger room section bright and early tomorrow with me and Laura."

"Fine, ah look forward ta it. Night Swamp Rat." Rogue said pushing past him and going upstairs.

"Ya ever hurt her gumbo and I swear ta god it will be the last thing you ever do." Logan said as he pushed past Remy to go into the kitchen.

"If I ever did, I hope it would be the last ding I ever did." Remy said as he walked out of the kitchen.

Logan walked over to the fridge and pulled a beer out. He sat down on one of the Bar stools and opened it. He smiled at the thought of how he was going to torture Remy in the danger room session in the morning, 'oh ya life is good' he though as he took a sip of his beer.
